The Nightbirds are Simta’s best-kept secret: Girls with a unique and powerful magic they can gift with just a kiss. Some would kill to possess them; the church would kill them outright. But protected by the Great Houses, the Nightbirds are well-guarded treasures.
As this Season’s Nightbirds, Matilde, Æsa, and Sayer will spend their nights bestowing their gifts to well-paying clients. Once their season is through, they’re each expected to marry a Great House lord and become mothers to the next generation of Nightbirds before their powers fade away. But as they find themselves at the heart of a political scheme that threatens not only their secrets, but their very lives, their future suddenly becomes uncertain.
When they discover that there are other girls like them and that their magic is far more than they were told, they see the Nightbird system for what it is: a gilded cage. Now they must make a choice—to remain kept birds or take control, remaking the city that dared to clip their wings.
Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers.
Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned.
As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.
Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.
Isla Crown ha ganado el amor de dos poderosos gobernantes y ha roto las maldiciones que plagaron los seis reinos durante siglos, pero los verdaderos orígenes de sus poderes son desconocidos. Ahora, a raíz de una terrible traición, Isla a menudo se distrae con las seductoras atracciones de Lightlark en vez de cumplir con su deber como líder de sus reinos. Peor aún, los otros gobernantes no han aceptado su victoria, o no creen que se haya ganado su ascenso al poder. Mientras la muerte camina hacia Lightlark y los secretos del pasado comienzan a desentrañarse, Isla deberá decidir entre su pueblo y los caprichos del traidor más peligroso de todos: su corazón.
One final swim of the summer. Let’s make it last all night…
Summer, 1994. Trevor can barely wrap his mind around the fact that he and his friends have graduated high school. And yet there’s no rush to get to college. He’s determined to live one night at a time. Riding shotgun from party to party, windows down, music up, his focus is entirely on his crush, the enigmatic girl in the driver’s seat. Will things ever go anywhere with Sarah?
Maybe? Because Sarah has proposed a mission: They’re going to swim all the pools in town. Before long, they’re sneaking into backyards every night, splashing, floating, and loving every minute of it. But it’s still not enough for Trevor. He yearns for Sarah, despite her college boyfriend, despite her “not yet”s, despite the way she keeps pulling away the moment it starts to feel truly magical.
Things finally change when they learn about a natural pool hidden deep in the woods. It seems like just another spot to check off their summer bucket list. But once they get there, they realize that this place has a curious hold on them, and something very strange is happening…
Caitlan de Once mata. Echo de Trece desobedece. Vikram de Cuatro miente. Blaine de Nueve calla. Hace diez años que los Clanes asesinaron a casi todos los miembros de la dinastía Yaromir. Hace diez años que someten Magva con violencia y tiranía. Una guerra fría que solo terminará cuando uno de ellos irrumpa en El Zavori para alzarse con el poder. Pero el palacio real está custodiado por unas fuerzas que nadie ha logrado vencer. Ni averiguar exactamente qué son. Marcados por sus terribles decisiones, parece imposible que los caminos de Caitlan, Echo, Vikram y Blaine puedan cruzarse. Sin embargo, el destino ya jugó sus cartas y quizás su alianza sea la última oportunidad que tengan para derrotar a los Clanes y devolverle el trono al príncipe soberano. Aunque maten, desobedezcan, mientan y... griten.
